3 What will the cooking pot have in common with the earthen vessel? And when they collide with one another, one will be broken.
4 The rich man has suffered no injustice, and yet he fumes. But the poor man, though he has been wounded, will remain silent.
5 If you are generous, he will take you up; and when you have nothing, he will cast you aside.
6 If you possess, he will feast with you, and he will empty you, and he will not grieve over you.
7 If he has need of you, he will deceive you; and while smiling, he will give you hope. He will converse with you pleasantly, and he will say: "What is it that you need?"
8 And he will impress you with his foods, until he has drained you two or three times, and in the very end, he will ridicule you. And afterward, when he sees you, he will abandon you, and he will shake his head at you.
9 Humble yourself before God, and wait for his hands.
